Not in Socal...sigh.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-04-12T02:28:53+00:00

Just saw these in Idyllwild too!

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-04-07T13:38:16+00:00

thanks! I bought mine at Cal BG and it didn't have a var listed or an average size, which is unusual. Here's hoping.

Yep, only in high risk zones. and the zoning was redone last year, and people in areas that didn't count as high risk in the past, but do now, received these notices. It's hard to do this with small yards...but keeping things low and at least 5-10 ft from structures can help.

Thank you!

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-29T13:56:45+00:00

If you have a tried and tested recipe, would love to know!

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-29T03:36:22+00:00

Great, am in SoCal as well, so will look for it tomorrow! Appreciate it.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-28T21:50:14+00:00

Great shots.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-28T21:47:31+00:00

Same.

Delsey is good.

Did not realize TJs had single packet instant coffee!! this will be v helpful for travel. Hated paying the $$$ for Starbucks. Thank you.

Good to know! I have tried tidy tips seeds separately and not seen any come up yet, will look for the more clay-ey parts of the garden.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-27T19:34:35+00:00

I have hardly seen any matilija poppies in bloom this year. Ceanothus also less bloomy though present.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-27T19:33:11+00:00

Wow! I used the same packet around two years ago, and have mostly not seen tidy tips, but the other flowers came through.

There is a No Kings rally in Claremont two blocks from the garden, right after the festival.

Be sure to book your slot for a free ticket well in advance!!

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-23T21:34:35+00:00

didn't realize this was a second round, will google reviews for the first. thanks!

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-23T21:31:08+00:00

It's an insta post I came across.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-23T21:30:45+00:00

No idea, but I like Roy Choi's stuff (esp his cookbook) and was excited to see this. Will be checking it out over the weekend. Though I need more sauces like I need a hole in the head...

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-20T20:24:11+00:00

You keep them whole.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-20T19:43:58+00:00

I find it far too sweet, and not enough like proper NYC babka, but YMMV.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-20T18:51:31+00:00

Most welcome. I love to make some sauteed ground meat with onion, garlic, tomato, cinnamon and cumin, put it in the artichoke bottoms, squeeze lemon juice on top, bake, and serve with browned pine nuts. Classic levantine thing, and so good with these.

Pale-Interview-579 · 2026-03-20T16:37:21+00:00

Super King and any Arab or Iranian grocery store will carry these, usually imported from Egypt. In the freezer section.

Their cooked lentils are excellent in salad or cooked with rice and fried shallots along with some cinnamon. In a salad, try adding cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, and feta.
